Arithmetic Operators in the Natural Units Environment
Description
Examples
In the Natural Units environment, the arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, and ^) are modified so that they perform the necessary operations on expressions with units.
Given units x and y, the properties of the five arithmetic operators are:
ax+bx→a+b[x]
ax+by→aza+bzb[z]
−ax→−a[x]
axbx→abz0[z]
1ax→1a[1x]
axr→ar[xr]
ab→ab
where r is a rational number; z is an appropriate unit from the given system; and za, zb, and z0 are appropriate multipliers.
